Europium oxydatum: ulcero-hemorrhagic rectocolitis

A. is a
thirty year old woman, married and mother of one child – she works as a
physiotherapist. She comes due to ulcero-hemorrhagic rectocolitis, which
started in 2000; she was then 20.

“I started
to have blood in my stools, I had intermittent bouts of abundant rectal hemorrhage.
For several years, I didn’t do any tests because my doctor thought it was
severe hemorrhoids problems, despite the fact that I had 4 to 6 stools a day.
In 2005, that went up to 10 stools a day; I was bleeding dry. I went to see
another doctor, who sent me for a coloscopy. I was then diagnosed with ulcero-hemorrhagic
rectocolitis.”

She was
prescribed Pentasa and Betnesol, which did not bring any relief. She also took
Turmeric capsules.

Despite
the treatment with Pentasa, she continues to suffer a hemorrhagic crisis once a
month. She remains anemic with a marked aggravation during her periods, which
are heavy. “I’ve
taken the pill from the age of 17 to 27. I had my first period when I was 13. I
first got pregnant with a treatment of Clomid and Duphaston, but the pregnancy
failed.

Family
history:-
Mother:
1955, treated by antidepressants and Lexomyl. She has always had digestive
problems; gastritis, hemorrhoids-
Father:
1953, suffers from osteoarthritis; coxarthrosis with hip replacement-
Several
cases of digestive cancer: maternal grandfather and paternal uncle

General:Her personality
is joyous and energetic, also complaining and irritable, alternating busyness and
tiredness: “When I was young, I had tantrums.” She is a perfectionist.Her
parents divorced when she was 24. She had been working as a physiotherapist for
a year.

Ramon
Frendo (RF): What affects you the most?

A: “My
parents’ separation. It was so unexpected, so incomprehensible, a lack of
communication.”

RF: What
was your reaction?

A: “I was
saddened… I felt betrayed by my mother, who left my father. I would have preferred
that they had argued in front of us. I feel angry inside.

RF: What
do you mean by ‘perfectionist’?

A: “I
wanted to be perfect in relation to my older sister, who was academically
gifted. I was obsessed by it; I was always first of the class and first of my
year. Meanwhile, I had low self-esteem, I felt like I had no worth. My sister,
who was considered more intelligent than me, has failed in everything. She
failed her pharmacist studies and now she is just a pharmacist’s helper.”

RF: What
about your childhood?

A: “I was
always on the move. I wanted to learn the piano but I was told that it would be
my sister who would learn it. I finally learned it, despite my parents saying that
she would be better.”

RF: What
about your relationship with your sister?

A: “It’s
fine now but for a long time there was much jealousy. We fought until I was 20.
She would look for me and then I would beat the hell out of her. Since I had
more energy and I was stronger, I dominated her. I’ve
tried to suppress the fact that my parents preferred my sister. I’m still upset
with my mother. Until she failed her studies, they thought she was infallible.”

RF: Do
you sleep well? Any dreams?

A: “I
sleep well. I have a dream where I am being pursued by people who want to kill
me (with firearms, or I’m being beaten). It’s as if I was able to change
the scenario. In the dream, I’m still the master and they can never catch
me. I manage to hide but the pursuit never stops. In another dream, I have
a task that I cannot do. It’s either smuggling or trying to get something out
of someone, and I’m being threatened.”

RF: What
is your relationship with money?

A: “My
mother often frightened me with money: “if we do that, we’ll end up in
the street; if we don’t work enough, we’ll have to sell the house…” I’m always
afraid of losing money. In life, however, I experience people as beautiful and
kind. I give everything and sometimes I’m taken advantage of. I’ve got to be
much stricter with people.”

RF: How
did you studies go?

A: “I
worked a lot, all the time. I forced my husband to eat at my desk while
I continued to work. After each exam, I felt I hadn’t done well enough,
I wanted to control everything.

RF: Can
you tell me more about this?

A: “I’ve
been able to study physiotherapy because my sister had failed her pharmacy
studies. My parents thought that studying was too expensive. I wanted to know
everything, anatomy, etc… I can’t stand mistakes. If I make a mistake, it will
cost us. To work independently is much better for me. I don’t want to be ordered
around.”

Analysis1: Auto-immune
illness; pre-cancerous; ulcero-hemorrhagic recto-colitis.2: She wants
to dominate; Gold series or Lanthanides; control and mastery direct towards the
Lanthanides.3: The first
dream could fit stage 12, Dysprosium. Dysprosium can feel attacked either with
a knife or with bare hands but he fights back until the end to maintain his
autonomy. Here, she does not fight but hides and the pursuit never ends. One
could think of a partial retreat, which could fit stage 13, Holmium.4: The
second dream indicates being on a mission, which could fit stage 9, Europium.
It is, however, a particular mission: smuggling or getting something out of
someone.5: She has
money issues; fear of losing it, of being short of money, having to sell the
house. She also contradicts herself: she gives everything but she’s afraid of
being short of money. Contradictions direct towards auto-immune illnesses and
therefore, towards the Lanthanides; domination, control, mastery.6: She
yearns for perfection with the subsequent fear of making mistakes, which in
turn pushes her to study ceaselessly. Study, intelligence, knowledge and
science direct towards Europium.

If we add
to this: stools, blood, fear of lacking money, smuggling, and corruption, we are
directed towards Oxygen.

Prescription:
Europium oxydatum 100K, once every two weeks for a month.

In
Europium oxydatum, we find an analogy between the fear of losing money and the
loss of stools, blood, life; the fear of losing everything.

Follow-ups:Three
months later: A radical change has taken place. Within 4 days, the rectal
hemorrhages have stopped. She has discontinued her allopathic treatment. From
the seventh day, she feels much better, quieter, more peaceful. She casts a
gentler gaze on her family history, her parents and her sister.

Prescription:
continue Europium oxydatum 1000K

Eight
months later: No remaining symptoms: normal stools; family life and work are
going pleasantly well.

She comes
to see me because she would like a second child and she wishes the pregnancy to
go well.

In the above text appear EUROPIUM OXYDATUM 100K AND 1000K. Is this a writing mistake or it is really about 2 different doses. first dose is lower and more frequent and next doses are higher?
Highly appreciating your promt reply.
Thank you in advance,
N.
